-
FY2026 Net Loss of $1.15M
Revenue grew 14% to $45.6M, but gross margin fell from 15.0% to 9.3% due to higher subcontractor costs, turning a prior-year profit into a loss.
-
$13M Wind Farm Construction Contract
Guizhou Tianrun won two packages for the Hongze 62.5 MW Wind Farm Project totaling RMB 91.52 million (~$13.02M), marking the company's entry into wind power construction.
-
49M Blank-Check Preferred Shares Authorized
Shareholders approved re-designating 49M preferred shares with terms to be set by the board, creating a large overhang for potential dilutive issuances.

Strategic Pivot to New Energy Construction
The October 2025 acquisition of Guizhou Tianrun and the new wind contract signal a shift from low-margin logistics into capital-intensive infrastructure construction.
Analysis · ELOG · Energy & Transportation
Eastern International swung to a $1.15 million net loss in fiscal 2026 despite a 14% revenue increase, as gross margins compressed sharply from 15.0% to 9.3% due to rising subcontractor costs. The company is pivoting aggressively into new energy infrastructure construction, disclosing a $13.02 million wind farm contract won in early 2026 and a $5 million wind power logistics project in Thailand. These moves follow the June 2026 shareholder approval that authorized the board to issue up to 49 million blank-check preferred shares, creating significant potential dilution. The combination of deteriorating core logistics profitability, a major strategic shift into capital-intensive construction, and a large authorized share overhang makes this a critical update for investors.
